Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Oh no, it's happening to me as well!!!

When you start chuckling helplessly in a choir practise where the conductor tells you to sing in legato.

When you read a book and where it says morn you automatically read it as morm.

Or this one, rather old actually, from November I think? I had a Swedish lesson where we were given an oral exercise. The instructions were to form small groups and sort of roleplay a family discussing what to do on holiday. One of the roles was "pappan Rune" (pappan means father in Swedish) Do I need to say more?
Actually, yes. I was doing the role of Rune's wife.

Also, if my memory doesn't fail me, Volo was Rune. I seem to remember that the discussion ended up in a divorce...

Yes, indeed! And our two children didn't have a say in anything...

I just can't help to wonder how popular I am

When there is a building in town that has a sign that says "Rilke", but you can't help but think every time you see it of Rikae...

When you are writing a paper for school and when you want to use italics, you have itching to write [ I ] before the text...

EDIT: I just realised that on Downs, one mostly uses the button that can do it automatically, which means I don't have it from writing normal posts... oh my, okay, I just caught myself. So it's a result of myself writing this way sometimes in Word (someone who reads will understand...)

*she giggles* I just press ctrl and then I!

Or when you and you're friend (Lauri) start talking about things on the Downs like "Did you know what Hookbill said?!?!" and another one of your friends that eats lunch with you says to the person walking by (also one of your friends) "I have no idea what they're talking about!"

When you are reading a text you've written and the sentence "It might be true" makes you think about The Might...

When you are supposed to be doing homework (enough homework so that it will probably take like an hour to finish) and you are posting on the Downs because you got bored!
